How long we retain your data

How we protect your data and what data breach procedures we have in place

We protect customer data with the following site features:

We use SSL/HTTPS on our site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.

In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

What rights you have over your data

If you are a client, have an account with us on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you by contacting us.
